Matteo Guendouzi didn’t give anything away when asked about his Arsenal future on Sunday.
The French midfielder has been linked with a move to Marseille in recent days.
But Guendouzi refused to be drawn on the speculation, insisting that he was firmly focused on recovering from the injury that he suffered toward the end of his season-long loan at Hertha Berlin.
Thing is, the cat is very much out of the bag and it appears as if an exit from Arsenal is imminent.
That’s because the 22-year-old posed for photographs in the French city on Sunday and it would seem like a massive coincidence if he was in the same location as the team who want to sign him, without it being transfer related.
Torn relationship
Guendouzi is a popular figure among a lot of Arsenal fans but Mikel Arteta has reportedly washed his hands with him, following reports of attitude issues on the player’s side.
Here’s how some Gunners supporters reacted to seeing the photo on Sunday:
On Sunday, Arsenal fans were livid following a report from Goal that the Emirates Stadium club could end up receiving less than £10 million for the player.
Charles Watts, who exclusively covers the North Londoners for Goal, revealed that the loan to France comes with an obligatory purchase option which works out at around £9 million, excluding the loan fee.
